Discovering the amazing forest of Mahale was like entering into my child dreams. A bewitching jungle inhabited by friendly great apes.

The Mahale forest, protected within the Mahale Mountains National Park, is located near Lake Taganyika, in Tanzania. North from there, in the Gombe forest, Dr Jane Goodall made her huge
discoveries that changed forever our conception of Humanity.

Mahale hosts and protects one of the most important populations of wild chimpanzees. A small group has been “habituated” by primatologists to human presence, and it is still possible to see them with a strict regulation.
